✦ Synopsis
Cesium chloride buoyant density analysis shows the density difference between the double-stranded alternating copolymers of dT and dA, poly(dAT.dAT) and of dA and BrdU, (dABU.dABU), to be 0.1730 g/cm". A mammalian DNA fully substituted with 5'-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) increases in density over control, unsubstituted, DNA by a value within 1% of that predicted from analysis of the copolymers. A simple relationship is presented for the accurate determination of the extent of BrdU substitution in a DNA of heterogeneous base composition.

## Abstract These studies were undertaken to examine the relationship between the inhibition by 5‐bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) of erythroid differentiation in Friend erythroleukemia cells and the incorporation of BrdU into DNA. Experiments were carried out in which the incorporation of BrdU into DNA an
